System Power Switch

Use the Power switch to power the system unit on and off.

NOTICE: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on

your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.

Power LED

The Power LED lights when the system unit power is on.

System LEDs

The system LEDs indicate the status of your workstation. In the event of a system problem, the LEDs are lighted in different patterns to indicate error codes. See Chapter 6 for a complete list of the system LED error codes.

Audio Controls

Next to the system LEDs are the following audio controls:

Headset Jack Accommodates mini-headphones with a 3.5-mm diameter

miniature stereo plug.

Volume Control Adjusts the audio output volume to the headset jack or line

out.

Mic Jack Accommodates microphones with a 3.5-mm diameter min-

iature stereo plug.

Mute Button Turns off the audio output to line out and speaker only.

NOTICE: The volume Control, Headphone Jack, and Microphone Jack Features of

the CD-ROM are supported through applications only

For more information on the features and electrical speciﬁcations, see “Audio Connectors” later in this chapter.

Removable Storage Devices

The model C100/110 supports the following removable storage devices:

• CD-ROM Disc Drive or DDS-Format Tape Drive

• Floppy Diskette Drive

NOTICES: Due to space limitations, a DDS-format tape drive and a CD-ROM drive

cannot both be mounted in the system at the same time.

A description of each drive’s controls and indicators is in the chapter describing that device, later in this book.

Audio Connectors

Your workstation has audio input and output capability through external input and output connectors on the rear panel and through an internal speaker. The rear panel contains the Audio IN (stereo line-in) and Audio OUT (stereo line-out) connectors.

The audio connectors are standard stereo audio mini-jacks. Hewlett-Packard recommends using gold-plated plugs available through audio retailers for best quality recording and playback through the external connectors. The following is a summary of the workstation audio features:

• Audio Features Programmable sample rates: 8kHz, 16kHz, 32kHz, 48kHz, 11.025kHz,

22.05kHz, and 44.1kHz.

Programmable output attenuation:

0 to -96dB in -1.5dB steps

Programmable input gain:

0 to 22.5dB in 1.5dB steps

Input monitoring:

16-bit linear, 8-bit u-law, or A-law coding

• Audio Inputs Line-in

Mono microphone (on the front panel) compatible with 1.5V

phantom supply (bias voltage supplied by the system).

CD-ROM audio (if internal CD-ROM is installed.

• Audio Outputs Line-out

Headphone (on the front panel) Built-in mono speaker

• Audio CODEC Crystal CS4215

The audio electrical speciﬁcation for this workstation are summarized in Table 1.

System Overview

System Unit Rear Panel Connectors

Keyboard Connectors

PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connectors

The PS/2 connectors provide an interface for a keyboard and a mouse to the system. Consult the documentation that accompanies each input device for speciﬁc information concerning its use.

HP-HIL Keyboard Connector

The HP HIL connector provides an interface for the ITF Keyboard and its mouse to the system. Consult the documentation that accompanies each input device for speciﬁc information concerning its use.

HP Parallel I/O Connector

The 25-pin HP Parallel I/O interface uses Centronics interface protocols to support peripheral devices such as printers and plotters. Consult the documentation that accompanies each peripheral device for speciﬁc information concerning its use.

802.3 Network Connectors

Your workstation has built-in ThickNet LAN-AUI and LAN-TP (Twisted Pair) connectors for the 802.3 (ETHERNET) network. Connections to ThinLAN networks require an external transceiver. Your workstation will autoselect the correct network setting.

Serial I/O Connectors

You can attach a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or trackball), or peripheral devices to the Serial Input/Output (SIO) ports on the C100/ C110 workstation. Peripheral devices include printers, plotters, modems, and scanners. Consult the documentation that accompanies each pointing or peripheral device for speciﬁc information concerning its use.

The SIO ports are programmable. You can set functions such as bit rate, character length, parity , and stop bits. The SIO Ports are used as an interface for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU. The ports operate at up to a

460.8K baud rate.

T able 2 shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial connectors are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those speciﬁed in the EIA RS-232 standard.
